Boys are wild animals, rich in the treasures of sense, but the New England boy had a wider range of emotions than boys of more e

quable climates. He felt his nature crudely, as it was meant. (10)To the boy Henry Adams, summer was drunken. Among senses, smell was the strongest smell of hot pine-woods and sweet-fern in the scorching summer noon; of new-mown hay; of ploughed earth; of box hedges; of peaches, lilacs, syringas1; of stables, barns, cow-yards; of salt water and low tide on the marshes; nothing came amiss.
In context, the word "drunken" (sentence 10) is best understood to mean (2 points)
exciting
confining
consumed
frightening
stupor-inducing
